The SAS is not going to storm some embassy in London. This would make them look awful stupid. Let’s be honest....the whole security apparatus for the Ecuadorian embassy is at best....one single guard. The odds are that he’s not even armed. You could get four retired CIA guys....with just baseball bats and probably successfully storm this minor-league embassy.
But then what? The Brits have zero interest in grabbing Assange or trying him in the UK for anything. Sweden? Rape and molestation charges are still up and applicable but if you tried to grab him and hand him over....he’d just challenge the effort in a Swedish court and probably force them within two months to release him because it wasn’t a proper “grab”.
If Kerry and his teletubbies team are planning something like this....it’d just back-fire and identify the US as some third-world regime and no better than North Korea.
“The SAS is not going to storm some embassy in London. This would make them look awful stupid.”
They would do anything they were ordered. And the Brits do indeed have a motive, they are eyeballs deep in the NSA world. They would hand him over to us for immediate extradition in a heartbeat.
The very fact that they have surrounded the embassy for a few years now tell you indeed they have an interest in grabbing him if possible.
No wonder Hillary was spending so much time with the Swedes
Didn’t they storm the Iranian Embassy yea that was a rescue thing, but hey Hillary is asking them to rescue her before he does her in.
